Aidan Lyon is a philosopher at Leiden University and the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy.
He completed his Ph.D. in Philosophy in 2009 at the Australian National University and has Bachelor's degrees in Science (Mathematics) and Arts (Philosophy) from the University of Queensland. His academic research is at the intersection of psychology and philosophy and focuses on wisdom, uncertainty, meditation, yoga, and psychedelics. He has published research articles in many top journals in philosophy and held academic appointments at several universities worldwide.
His book, *Psychedelic Experience: Revealing the Mind*, was recently published with Oxford University Press in 2023. He is currently working on the three-year project, "Mystical Entropy", funded by the Templeton Foundation. This project seeks to use the concept of entropy to unify the recent science of mystical experiences with traditional philosophical systems of mysticism.
Aidan also works as a philosophical consultant across various domains, including biosecurity intelligence, geopolitical forecasting, environmental decision-making, institutional investing, psychedelic therapy, and meditation training.
